Since you and your girlfriend are of legal age, you both can marry without parental consent. However, if her family objects, you can still marry under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. If they pressure her, legal measures like counseling or intervention by authorities can be considered for her well-being. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
